West Coast National Park: R27 Gate temporarily closed!

South African National Parks (SANParks) is currently upgrading the R27 Gate Facility at West Coast National Park in South Africa's Western Cape. The infrastructure improvement project began in February 2025 and is expected to be completed over a period of six months.
As part of the ongoing construction, the R27 Gate will be closed to the public from 22 April to 14 June 2025. During this time, all access to West Coast National Park will be rerouted through the Langebaan Gate.
These upgrades are part of SANParks' ongoing efforts to improve West Coast National Park's infrastructure and ensure a better experience for all visitors. Travellers are encouraged to plan ahead and use the Langebaan Gate for entry and exit during the temporary closure.
